Hi,
My overall GPA is a 2.77. If I include community college grades, my overall would be 2.94. My GMAT score is 650 with a 5.5 AWA.
What do you guys think are my chances for the USC MAcc program?
Thanks.

From the USC Leventhal website, it states that to be a competitive applicant, the applicant must have the following:
-minimum overall GPA of 3.0
-a total score equal to or higher than 600 (strongly recommended)
Also, from the website,
"Since the programs are graduate accounting and tax, the admissions committee looks for evidence that the applicant is capable of excelling in an undergraduate accounting course and in an economics course. The following courses must be completed, with a passing grade of B or better, prior to enrollment:
Introductory Financial Accounting
Microeconomics or Macroeconomics"
I received a C in Financial Acctg but received an A in Managerial Acctg. I got a C in Macroecon and an A (retake from an F) in Microecon. The USC Admissions Advisor told me the following:
"If you’ve taken another accounting course, such as managerial accounting, and received a better grade, we will take that into consideration as well when making admission decisions, since we look at grades received in ALL accounting courses.
If the admissions committee believes that an applicant has high potential to do succeed academically in the program and succeed professionally in the accounting profession, having a grade below a B will not necessarily mean that this person will not gain admission. Remember, we look at ALL parts of the application when we make admission decisions, not just grades and test scores."

I am currently a student in the MAcc program at USC. It is an amazing program. I have met some awesome people and have a job locked down at Deloitte.
I know the program leaders well and I am involved as a student ambassador to give potential students "tours." The GPA doesn't help. The GMAT score is slightly above the average. One thing that is nice is they put a lot of weight on the interview. If you think you are a good interviewer or likeable, make sure that if you are offered an interview, you do an "in-house" as opposed to a phone interview.
I know at least one person who had a 2.9. He went to UCLA and I'm sure had a great interview.
They definitely consider the whole picture and are not number snobs. Just give it your best shot and apply ASAP!
Good luck.

Any advice?
